It may not come naturally, but it's a necessity to master it. Whether selling to a client, presenting to the team at the office, or commanding a room of hundreds, learn how to leave the fears behind and bring out your smartest, forceful, natural self. Work on the non-verbal cues that don't benefit you while harnessing the most influential pieces you already have.

Being comfortable in front of a television camera, or talking to a live audience, is not an easy task. More importantly, trying to make the most of your time in front of a camera or live audience is even a tougher task. Honing in on your message for the people you rely on for business success, making a lasting impact with the words you say, and then leaving the audience wanting more are only some of the attributes you will gain when working with a seasoned veteran of the NY television world. Working with Kirstin Cole has been just that!
She has the experience, and conveyed it in a professional and upbeat manner. She has tremendously positive energy and is very confident in her teaching style. Her teaching style keeps you on your feet and challenges your abilities to convey a poignant and powerful message. I feel it has helped give me a better understanding of what is expected of me when I am in front of a camera or live audience. Invaluable experience!
